Religious leaders have been urged to become a vital part of the fight against scammers who are exploiting the QNET brand. Theodocia Naana B. Quartey, Global Compliance Officer for the lifestyle and wellness company, stated that messages delivered from the pulpit hold considerable influence and are readily accepted by congregations. She believes these leaders can serve as crucial mouthpieces to protect people from falling victim to fraudulent activities.
So, we want pastors and other religious leaders to be the mouthpiece to speak to the people, thereby protecting them from falling prey to scammers who dupe them through the misuse of the QNET brand.
Quartey made these remarks at the 2026 All Ministers Seminar of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council in Kumasi. She acknowledged that many individuals still lack sufficient information about QNET's operations and how to avoid scams. The company is actively working with the Economic and Organised Crime Office to apprehend perpetrators and recently held a workshop for representatives from 13 Central and West African countries.
We are doing a lot with the Economic and Organised Crime Office to clamp down on the perpetrators. Recently, we had a workshop for representatives from 13 Central and West African countries.
To combat the issue, particularly in the Ashanti Region, which has been identified as a hotspot for QNET-related scams, the company is directing its registered offices to relocate to commercial areas. This move aims to ensure business operations are conducted openly and transparently, reducing the likelihood of scams occurring in residential settings. Quartey stressed that the company remains committed to safeguarding Ghanaians from scammers and will continue to disseminate information to protect the public.
We are encouraging them to move to commercial areas so that they do their business openly in the full glare of the public.
Additionally, Apostle Dr. Bright Sosu, Chairman of the GPCC Ashanti Region, highlighted the seminar's value in educating religious leaders about legal matters. He advised them to always verify information before sharing it with their congregations to prevent inadvertently leading members into the hands of scammers.
As the church enjoys freedom of association and worship as enshrined in the constitution, it must respect the rights of others in its operations.
